**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
I. General Information A. Does this action apply to me?

This action is directed to the public in general. Although this action may be of particular interest to those persons who conduct or sponsor research on pesticides, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be affected by this action. B. What Should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD–ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD–ROM the specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked

will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.

2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments, remember
to:

i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).

ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.

iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and substitute language for your requested changes.

iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information and/ or data that you used.

vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and suggest alternatives.

vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of profanity or personal threats.

viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified.

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group, including minority and/or low income populations, in the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticide(s) discussed in this document, compared to the general population. II. What action is the Agency taking?

Under section 5 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136c, EPA can allow manufacturers to field test pesticides under development. Manufacturers are required to obtain an EUP before testing new pesticides or new uses of pesticides if they conduct experimental field tests on 10 acres or more of land or one acre or more of water. A copy of the applications and any information submitted is available for public review in the docket established for these EUP applications. Following the review of the application and any comments and data received in response to this solicitation, EPA will decide whether to issue or deny the EUP request, and if issued, the conditions under which it is to be conducted. Any issuance of an EUP will be announced in the Federal Register

.

Therefore, pursuant to 40 CFR 172.11(a), the Agency has determined that the following EUP applications may be of regional and national significance, and therefore is seeking public comment on the following EUP applications:

1. 524–EUP–RNA. (EPA–HQ–OPP– 2013–0012). Submitter: Monsanto Company, 800 N. Lindbergh Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63167. Pesticide chemical: MON 102100. Type of chemical: Nematicide.

Period of treatment is from February 1, 2014, to December 31, 2016. Treated seed must be dyed to impart an unnatural color to prevent use for food,feed, or oil purposes. This is a cropdestruct EUP.

2. 72500–EUP–E. (EPA–HQ–OPP– 2013–0546). Submitter: Scimetrics Ltd. Corp., P.O. Box 1045, Wellington, CO

Bait to be applied on 25 lb to 100 lb amounts in dispensers said to allow feral hogs to access bait while limiting access by nontarget species. Area covered by treatments not to exceed 2,471 acres (10 km 3 ). Baiting period is projected to last 3 weeks, with dispensers being replenished ‘‘as needed.’’ Proposed period of treatment is from July 1, 2014, to August 31, 2014.
